afternoon tea

Afternoon tea is a quintessentially British tradition that has been enjoyed for centuries. It typically consists of a pot of tea, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of cakes and pastries. The tradition of afternoon tea is said to have been popularized by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the 19th century. Today, it is still a popular pastime and can be enjoyed in many hotels, restaurants, and tea rooms across the UK. Yorkshire is known for its tea rooms and is home to the famous Betty’s Tea Rooms, which has been serving afternoon tea since 1919.
